In front of Jiayu Pass, the reef watched the exchange of prisoners of war between Chu and Hu from a distance.

The prisoners of war who were exchanged, in addition to the third prince, there were more than two dozen Hu noble officers. Such people usually have a good family background and can pay a ransom to buy back their relatives.

As for the other soldiers, spies and the like, no one cared, and no one paid for them to redeem them, even if they were lucky and did not die in this year's torture, they were destined to become slaves and do some hard work under the rule of the Great Chu Border Army.

There were quite a few people who rushed to watch after hearing the news, although they were far away, but they knew that the third prince of Hu Ren who was standing in the middle was the third prince of Hu who almost destroyed his own home, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but show hatred. Even if they knew that this person had exchanged a large amount of food and property and could ensure that Suzhou would not have to worry about food shortages in the next two years, they still hated him in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to overshadow him with their eyes.

Surrounded by such hateful gazes, the third prince of Hu Ren rode away with his henchmen sent by his father with a gloomy face. When he got on the horse, he staggered two steps, as if something was wrong with his legs and feet. After the horse set off, he could not ride fast, and he looked weak, obviously no longer the heroic and strong he had been a year ago. Facing the shocked gaze of his father's henchman, his face became even more ugly.

After the Hu people left, the generals commanded the soldiers to divide the materials sent by the Hu people into two parts, one part of the small quantity belonged to the Jiayuguan garrison, and the rest had to be transported to Suzhou City, waiting for the people sent by the capital to be sent to be distributed and transported elsewhere. Of course, Suzhou can also get a share.

The people gathered in front of Jiayu Pass slowly dispersed, and the reef also manipulated the horses and embarked on the way home.

Back at home, Haijiao first went to see his grandmother, and then went back to the east wing. He entered the door with his front foot, and Begonia followed with his back foot, and the brother and sister talked about today's prisoner exchange in the house.

Haijiao quietly told his sister that he had just tried to identify the shape of the mouth of the conversation between the third prince of Hu Ren and Uncle Wang's henchman, and he could probably guess what they said. This is a skill he learned when he was a secret agent in his previous life, and he is not proficient, but the accuracy rate is six or seven percent.

After Haitang heard this, he was a little excited: "It sounds like these three princes are not going to thank the new Khan King, but more like they are going to cut people." Would he really do that? ”

Hai Jiao raised his eyebrows: "The people of Dusi have not whispered in his ear, he has long accumulated resentment towards the new Khan King and the Queen Mother Khan in his heart, and now that he has the opportunity to go back, how can he not retaliate?" It's just that he is very weak now, and it is impossible for his henchmen sent by Lao Tzu to pick him up to send him to death, and he is destined to endure this breath first. But as long as he still remembers this hatred, their father and son will soon fight again with the new Khan King and the Khan Queen Mother. ”

Haitang remembered that she had just seen a large number of livestock and supplies transported by the Suzhou guards on the street: "Those things are just afraid that they will empty the wallets of the Hu nobles, right?" I don't believe that after losing so much materiel, they can still have the financial resources to support a large-scale military operation, at most a small cavalry to disturb the border. ”

Hai Jiao smiled: "I have just recognized a lot of Hu Ren nobles' family marks, and there are still things in the Hu Ren Palace, but I am afraid that Uncle Hu Ren Wang will dig the corner of the New Khan King in private." When the Queen Mother Khan knew about this, even if the third prince didn't make trouble and wanted revenge, she would not be able to spare Uncle Wang, and the two sides would definitely fight. I just don't know if the third prince can take care of his body in time and catch up with this wave. ”

Haitang was a little unwilling: "I didn't expect to let the third prince of Hu Ren go back with all his beards and tails." Although he has exchanged a lot of things that can make the soldiers and civilians of Suzhou a little richer, if he recovers his health and makes trouble at the border of our Dachu, no amount of good things are worth it! ”

Haijiao chuckled, approached his sister and whispered: "Don't worry, he followed the old Khan King to fight with the border army, and the border army wanted to eat his meat, how could he really let him go back easily?" Don't look at his beard and tail now, it seems that he is just a little rheumatism and weakness, just raise it, but who knows what is going on inside him? I know that the Zhou family has a plan with Master Tao in private, and I don't know how to do it, as if they used some kind of secret medicine that can make people poisoned before they can breathe after a year and a half. Now that our Da Chu has put people safe and sound in the hands of Hu Ren in full view of everyone, and after a year and a half, he will have three long and two short, but it is none of our business......"

Haitang looked at her brother in surprise: "How did my brother know?" ”

Haijiao smirked: "Of course I eavesdropped on it in the guardhouse!" General Gu's son, the third prince of Hu Ren, was put back and was about to cut people, but General Gu dragged him into the house and whispered for a long time, and General Wednesday also followed up to coax people. I heard with my own ears what the general said on Wednesday. ”

General Gu is actually General Wednesday's cousin-in-law, and his son is also General Wednesday's junior. If it weren't for the sake of coaxing his own children, General Wednesday would never have divulged such secrets.

Haitang blinked, raised his index finger and "shhh ”

Haijiao squeezed his eyes at her: "Don't worry, my brother acted very carefully, and didn't let anyone find out that I was eavesdropping behind the house." Except for you, I won't reveal a word in front of my grandpa and grandma and cousin. ”

Haitang knew that he still knew the proportions, so he was also relieved.

As for the secrets overheard by the reef...... She leaned into this to be true.

The Zhou family is probably more willing to meet the third prince on the battlefield, but Tao Yue can't say for sure. Although he is a good man, he does not follow the rules. Since he knew that the captured third prince must be released safely after the peace talks were over, how could he give the latter the opportunity to lead his troops to invade Dachu again? While the third prince is still under the control of Da Chu, isn't it normal to do something?

Haitang remembered the secrets she had heard fifty or sixty years ago when she was still a female official in the Great Chu court. The royal family of the Great Chu Song clan has a secret medicine passed down from generation to generation, which should be a chronic poison, which can make people die within a year after poisoning, the initial signs are not obvious, and will only show a symptom similar to rheumatism, which makes people slow down, and suddenly on a certain day, the poisoned person will die violently, and the seven holes will flow black blood, and he looks like he has been poisoned, and anyone can see that he was poisoned. It's just that at this time, the person who really poisoned is often far away, leaving only the innocent in front of him to carry the black pot.

Haitang didn't know where the Song royal family got this secret medicine and what purpose this secret medicine was originally developed, but she had seen the victims of this secret medicine with her own eyes and was deeply impressed by its symptoms.

Fang Cai Haijiao mentioned that the current third prince of Hu Ren was weak, probably because he had been in prison for a long time, and the dampness entered his body, and he developed rheumatic symptoms. She didn't suspect it at first, but when she heard the statement of the reef, she intuitively felt that the third prince should have been hit by this secret medicine.

Coincidentally, Tao Yue is the emperor's cousin and confidant, and the Zhou family is the maiden family of the Empress Dowager Zhou, so it is possible to get this kind of thing. If the third prince of Hu Ren really got this medicine, he would be doomed to die soon, and it would be impossible to recover his health and lead the army to invade Chu.

Until the end of his life, he would harbor hatred for his cousins, mother and son, and always think of revenge on them.

And when he suddenly dies of poison next year, it is estimated that it will cause chaos within the Hu people, right? Uncle Wang, who has lost his only heir, looks at his son's obviously poisoned death, and who will he put his hatred on? Anyway, it won't be the Da Chu official who put people back a year ago.

The two forces of Uncle Wang and the New Khan, who are about to form a "mortal enemy", will finally win the victory in this chaos?

Begonia is a little curious.
